Totally. With Next, your page component can export a getServerSideProps function which is used by the Next server to fetch any props necessary for the page component server-side on-demand. There’s a variation of this function for static builds called getStaticProps, which runs at build time to fetch data for props. So, even if we don’t render anything server-side, we can still run logic/fetches/etc. on the server side when a particular page is requested. This could be useful for dealing with sensitive data, for example.

Sounds like a cool app. I definitely see plenty of opportunities for static content there, like you said, but proper state management is vital for the real-time stuff.
